  I've got three scoops, one is extra, thanks to ole AL!!

  Hopefully Scott will be producing some soon. 

  Tough luck to find a pair of scoops over there.

Not a hope finding much in the way of E-body here.  They were never introduced in to Australia.  The cars that are here are here because of collectors and private sellers.  I shop for my stuff in USA only, all online. :2thumbs:

And i am happy Scott will be releasing the scoops otherwise i would of made some by hand. :bigsmile:

Do you know if any of the Gran Coupes came with a rallye hood? It currently has one on it, and the patina seems to match the rest of the Tor Red on the car.

I did not find the J54 Code, so perhaps it was added?
I just found out that Limited Parts Industries is manufacturing E Body Louvers as advertised in the latest Mopar Muscle.
I have emailed them regarding the black trim.

Excellent decision keeping it a Grand Coupe IMO.  Will you keep the side molding protectors?  Most people don't find them attractive but it would be cool if you put the whole car back to original!   :woohoo:

L.P.I. is currently not offering the rear window trim. I have asked the price on the rear window louvers, but have not received a responce.
I will post it once I receive it.
I am looking to purchase the textured black rear window trim and chrome trim for the the vinyl top around the back window. Anyone with this, please contact me.

Couldn't the trim be powdercoated? I know there is a black textured powdercoat that looks very similiar to the original pattern. Yes I realize OEM would be preferred but thats a pretty rare find...if your lucky.

I got 3 pieces of back window outer trim I have to forward to Hemiken. they look like they will clean up real good, and maybe have to tweak the long piece some, but in really good shape.

   My 71 cuda came with the A67-J68 code options also but my rear window trim is  the chrome stainless and not  textured. My louvers were gone when I bought the car so I need to replace them. If you get a reply on the price from LPI let us know.

I finally got a responce from L.P.I on the louvers,they have US List price of $1,095.00 including all of the hardware except the mounting screws for the hinges. I was expecting a much higher price, as they are actually made in the U.K. by hand.
I checked with Herbs Parts and he quoted me $1095.00, Laysons also handles them but has not gotten back to me. Automotive Specialties quoted $1195.00 (Dude was not real friendly!)???? These can be shipped via UPS so the freight should not kill us.
I will post the pictures that he sent me as soon as I can get to a computer that can resize them.
